I have a Squeezebox Server setup with Receivers in the kitchen and livingroom. However, because all but one member of the household now has an iThing of some description, I have rigged up docks on both systems so the users can either listen to music via their pod or via the Squeezebox. Also, there is no reason why an Airplay enabled amp could not also have a Squeezebox attached. The music on the server is mostly mine and my wife's. However the children do use the Squeezebox to access Napster (for music they don't yet have on their pods), BBC iPlayer and other internet radio. Squeezebox can also add to what is available via Apple's systems via the "player" function in iPeng - which my daughter uses occasionally even though the Venn Diagram of our musical tastes only has a very small overlap! The two systems can live happily side-by-side but I am sure most households will make a choice of one or the other according to the considerations that Erland has listed. -- TheLastMan Matt http://www.last.fm/user/MJL-UK *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology DS107+ (500GB) NAS running LMS 7.7.0 on SSODSmod 4.14 *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93207 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
